drowned Herself.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo. Oct. 25.-Belle Dayen-
baugh, woman employed as waitress at
the Herbert house. committed suicide today
by jumping In the river at point about
half mile south of the Francis Street depot.
She left the hotel about o'clock without
any one seeing her, and, 1t Is thought,
made straight for the river. She followed
along the banks, the foot prints being
plainly marked In the mud, SO that the
place where she threw herself over is
plainly discernable. Before leaving the
hotel she left a letter addressed to her
husband asking him to take care Of her
child and not to grieve for her.

A Common Notion Confuted

Mr.. John Murdoch confutes the COM
mon notion that Esquimaux always eat
their food raw, and devour enormous
quantities of blubber. At Point Bar
row Mr.. Murdoch found that food was
habitually cooked. although certain ar
ticles, like the "black skim of the
whale. were usually eaten raw. Taking
into account the fact that the Esqui-
maux have no butter, cream, fat, ba-
con. olive oil or lard. he doubts wheth-
er much more fat is consumed by them
than by civilized peoples. At Point
Barrow the fat of birds and the REIN
deer was freely partaken Of, but COM
paratively little actual blubber either
of the seal or whale was eaten. Seal
or whale blubber was too valuable-for
burning in the lamps. oiling leather
and many other purposes. especially
for trade. ''--dmerican Nationalist.

U3iversal Popularity OF Thin India SIlk of
Various Shades.
Whatever else is. neglected, the win
dow blinds and curtains must be in
apple-pie order, lest the whole house
have the appearance Of decay. Hence,
housekeepers in general are always
glad to know of the last new thing in
this line. The regulation lace or mus
lin curtains put up in the regulation
way, are thing of the past; that is.
they are no longer considered the
height of fashion. although some con-
sentative woman still cling to the
style and renew them as often as may
seem necessary. But the present fancy
is for thin India silk curtains, and terra
Gotta is par excellence the favOrite col

shades are often preferred. These are
used both as draperies and as sash cur
tains, although there is tendency to
leave the upper part of the window
open to the light, or at best only
vailed with a valance of en- 5roidered
linen or muslin. There is also fancy
for securing these curtain closely
against the window from top to bot
tom. French fashion, and fastening
each half back midway, or at the cross
piece. It is. of course, difficult to lower
or raise the window without soiling the
curtain: but what will women not sacri-
flee to fashion? Curtains in general are
much less full than formerly. This
change is probably due to the fancy for
colored and figured curtains, where

He Pulled Himself In.

On the Lansing train the other day
an old man showed up a window as
the locomotive whistled for a crossing
and stuck half his body out to see what
the row was about. The brakeman
happened to pass through the car, and
seeing the situation he said:

BY rings and are always topped back
so that the window fuifills its intent
to admit light and air, and to afford .
glimpse of the outside world. A pretty
way of hanging curtains is to mount
both on one-half of the pole. One
curtain is left to hang straight the
other is brought behind the pole. and
forward over Ii, so that its free end
falls part way to the floor. while the
attached end forms a graceful festoon
just below the pole. There is an art
in this arrangement so that it shall not
have stiff. fixed look: but well draped
the effect is good. Broad sash ribbon
is used to draw back curtains; so are
plush bands. made in fan shapes and
other fanciful forms; but the newest
thing for the purpose is bright silk

not much that is new in the way OF

the old ones. SO that they seem almost

drove the boys away and turned the

smiling.

the judges wife asked.
Il think not. 1 tell you what's a
fact. Elvina, believe that animals
have gratitude. Look at that steer
how gratefully he looks at me. Get me
a painful of meal and I'll take it out to
him"
The steer backed up into corner of
the fence. He was evidently very
hungry, for. as Macaulay said of old
Sam johnson: 1.-The sight of food
greatly afflicted him. The Judge put
down the pan and said: ''Now, young
fellow we'll have something to eat.
Come on. Why, l wouldn't hurt you

abused until, unable to distinguish a
friend from foe. he regards the whole

The steer uttered frightful "bar-r-r"
and made lunge at the judge, who,
leaping aside, took to his heels. The
steer wheeled about and dashed after
him; and, what is worse, caught up
with him. He knocked the Judge down
just before he reached the gate, and
was butting him with his hornless but
bony head, when Mrs. Berrybone. with
woman's instant conception of rescue,
hurriedly filled large tin cup full of
boiling water, ran to the gate. and
threw the water at the steer. Unfortu-
nately. the animal changed his posi-
ton just at that moment, and loud
roar which came from the ground an
nounced that the Judge had caught the
water. In a moment more the humane
gentleman had scrambled to his feet
and had darted into the house. When
he came out, which he quickly did.
he was accompanied with gun. He
fired passionately. and. missing the
steer, killed blooded colt in an adj
